Inspiration
Inspiration erases the simplicity of serving.
Energy courses and bumps to repaving the humble road of obedience.
Grabbed by vision and dynamic creative blows
that see through invigorated eyes of hope.
Naivety concludes that I am on the wrong path;
Change must come or I die inside or become the cause of the next “holocaust” by my inaction: If a butterfly’s wings have the power to create a hurricane then I must act.
My mind heaves with adrenal pulses;
My chest rises and falls with self-absorbed excitement;
My eyes are blind with intention;
My ears seek only the word “Go!”
I do not hear a “Go!”
But I slowly focus on the nail pierced hands of Christ
holding out a towel dripping with excited readiness!
Affluence
Affluence steels the
Nerve of a mindful society;
Awakened to pulse only
When the shockwave
Is greater than the
Snooze button of
sophistication.
Affluence weights the
Well-viewed extensions
Of a health-crazed society;
Motion comes only
When the call is well
Ignored and becomes
Seasoned with
Desperation.
Affluence hooks the
Dripping smile of the
Obese mouth of society;
Responding in dramatic
Haste as the buzz of
The zoom lens brings a
Full smile to the
Affluent mouth that
Has robbed the stunned of life
For molecular and momentary sound-bytes.
It is only in the
silence …
of water dripping
from a towel that
Unimaginable wealth is gained.
